Description

I can't find my way around the build system when using the S3 client.

It seems that only shared target is allowed when the S3 feature is ON. In the thirdparty toolchain, when printing:

FATAL_ERROR "FIXME: Building AWS C++ SDK from source will link with wrong libcrypto"

What is actually meant is that static build will not work, correct ? If it is the case, should libarrow.a be generated at all when S3 feature is on ?

What can be done to fix this ? What does it mean that the SDK links to the wrong libcrypto ? Is it fixable ? Or is their a way to have the static build but maintain a dynamic link to a shared version of the SDK ?
